   FATALLY STRICKEN WHILE CUTTING WOOD
   Father of Palmer Township Man Dies at East Stroudsburg
   Stricken with what is thought to have been a heart attack as he was splitting 
   kindling in the cellar of his home, Jerome Shelley, aged 72, one of the best-
   known residents of Monroe county, died at the home of his grand nephew, Frank 
   Johns, 463 Lincoln avenue, East Stroudsburg, yesterday morning.
   Mr. Shelley, who had lived his entire life in Monroe county, had been living 
   with his nephew for several years. During the past few weeks he had complained 
   of a cold, but said this morning he was feeling much better. He went into the 
   cellar to chop some kindling and in a short time one of the children told Mrs. 
   Johns that he was lying on the floor. She immediately summoned aid and he was 
   carried upstairs, and died a few minutes later.
   District Attorney Shafer was notified and County Detective J.C. Shafer 
   investigated the case.
   He is survived by one sister, Mrs. Samuel Haines, of Stroudsburg, two sons, 
   John, of Duryea, and Frank Shelley, a lineman, of 62 Craig street, Palmer 
   township, and one daughter Nettie, of New York.
